The Homersfield (it's near Diss) Black Swan yesterday was packed with chairmen, facilitators, co-ordinators, mayoral chains, at least one cleric and a slap up cream team to launch Seven Towns In Sound which includes Eye and Halesworth.  The downloadable audio walking guides have been produced by Nick Jenkins of Soundboard Productions who did a similar thing for Framlingham (and an impromptu skatepark opening) a couple of years back.

When you first register on Facebook it actively encourages you to register as a person not as an organisation, club or group ... but the New Cut Halesworth seem to have got away with it.

On the board Deano wants to know when Woodbridge was bypassed.

Framlingham's finest The Outlaws and a manic looking hen party in that there Essex Friday.

Pathfinder Guide to Suffolk Walks FOUND yesterday and lightning strikes twice with more cigarettes stolen in Wickham Market last week.

Today Framlingham is surrounded by oil seed rape and last century the corner of Bridge Street and Riverside wasn't a car park and the Castle Inn had trees outside.

Now(ish):  The second May digest is emailing out a the moment, click the postie to get your free copy.

The Dennington tennis court was looking pretty sad when we visited four years ago and now it looks like qualifying for free counselling.  To cheer it up the sports club are having an auction tomorrow in the village hall with viewing tonight.  Opportunities include a brand new pedal tractor, a male? Venus de Milo, old bowls that get antique dealers on tv excited and a big yellow thing.

More ways to mark the jubilee on the Saturday are another free family fun day in Aldeburgh and a jubilee quiz at the Saxtead Old Mill.

Guaranteed weeping in Laxfield village hall tomorrow night when War Horse (12A) is shown, starts 7:30pm and a fiver to get in.

Roof bars for a Peugeot 307 estate FOR SALE on the board.

A free way to celebrate the jubilee in Saxmundham that may not contain flags.

♫ We wouldn't expect to hear If I Only Had A Brain or Thin Lizzy's The Boys Are Back In Town at a Maverick concert but last night in the Framlingham Crown Sweet Talk Radio turned them into gently lyrical slow ballads.  Like we've said before they can all sing in country and Sweet Talk's roadie Alex Berger sang and played someone else's guitar beautifully in a two song spotette.

The Gentleman Plumber as so frequently before names the Guess Whoee.

ASTONISHER No.21:  Basil Brush will be 50 next year and his first man was tv conjurer David Nixon, no that's not it, David Nixon helped fund the Mellotron a sort of early synthesiser before there were synthesisers ... and what's more only some 2,000 were ever made. ♫

Twelve new chums on our Facebook page, feeling rather popular.

  Guess Who 21?  The bloke making a certain gesture.

♫ For the Golden Jubilee next month the Framlingham Station has live music and jubilee beers.
